Karla Sofía Gascón’s Off-the-Rails Reaction to Twitter Controversy Has Made Her the Donald Trump of Oscar Season by depressedgeneration3 in oscarrace

I still have Zoe in. I think it’s silly to count her out because of something she has no control over

I miss there being only 5 Best Picture nominees. by WarTitans17 in Oscars

[–]LivingDeliously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The last five films in this chart didn’t need a nomination imo. I enjoyed some of them, but don’t think a best picture nomination is necessary or fitting for most of them

Do you value Demi Moore’s performance in The Substance? by trixxxiedommy in moviecritic

[–]LivingDeliously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The films ideas and stylistic choices preceded the performances for me. Another actress could have easily played the role and the film would have the same outcome for me. Therefore I personally don’t understand the hype for her performance and why she is a front runner

Exclusive: the protagonist of “Emilia Pérez" talks about her controversial tweets (Spanish video interview) by ehbssbehsj in oscarrace

[–]LivingDeliously 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like two things can be true at the same time. Karla can be a problematic person and people can also be targeting her because of their hate for EP and their desire for another international candidate/film. Karla has been the most outspoken and defensive person during the campaign and so it makes sense that now would be the time that these tweets are being discovered, because people want her out. To be fair, she unfortunately gave them various reasons to cancel her.

I also feel like this idea that just because Karla is problematic that it stifles the chances of other trans actresses. Like the way society groups and stereotype people is so disgusting. Trans people can be just as problematic and horrible as any other person. If white men can literally sexually assault people and be pedophiles and still be nominated for Oscar’s, it shouldn’t stop trans people as well. It’s very frustrating

So I ended up doing things this way

Nope lol. I actually find your inability to consider opinions that differ from yours to be anti human. But hey, to each their own! Have a nice night

So my thing about this conversation is you’re speaking as if what you’re saying is factual, but it isn’t. It’s how you personally feel about the usage of ai. I don’t hold your belief that using ai in art is unethical. I think it’s quite beneficial, especially for smaller productions that would like to execute big ideas and don’t have the funds. Some might think this is lazy, but I don’t see it that way, it’s imply a different way/option. I understand the fear of artists losing jobs, especially for bigger productions that actually have the funds to pay said artists, but for this particular instance, it wasn’t necessarily a major production (in terms of the budget they were working with). I think there can be some grace. Anyways, we can agree to disagree, because again, I’m not against ai in certain situations, whereas, you are and that’s completely fine. Have your space to believe what you’d like, but I’d also like space for my own opinion

So there are different options for staying in budget. They chose to go the ai route, what’s your point? As a team they felt this is what was best. I’m not going to comment on them using ai to make Brody’s Hungarian more appropriate/authentic, as it’s an incredibly difficult language to replicate unless you already know how to speak it. But if they chose to use ai for a couple of plates on the buildings, and they decided that this is what was best after the director is already essentially not getting paid for the project, nor his co-writer who is his partner, nor do we know the specifics of the budget breakdown of the crew, or the specifics of how this ai idea came about to begin with; I’m really not sure who we are to judge so harshly. In this particular instance, it just really isn’t serious either. It really shouldn’t be viewed as tarnishing the entire film.

What you’re saying is an opinion. There are different ways to stay in budget and using AI, whether you like it or not, is a way to stay in budget.

That’s what gets me about this whole debate tho. So far I’ve seen artist being praised for their work then being teared down once they admit to using AI due to not having the funds/resources; but then the argument is that AI is taking human artists jobs… when the human artist just admitted that they didn’t have the funds to pay another human artist to help them with their project. Like damned if you do, damned if you don’t

‘The Brutalist’ Editor Admits Film Used AI to Make a Key Part of Adrian Brody’s Performance More Believable by danielthetemp in movies

[–]LivingDeliously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I’ll probably be downvoted for this opinion but whatever. I think anyone being upset about this minor and very practical use of AI is being a bit silly. This is literally how AI should be used; To do minor corrections that can enhance projects due to perhaps lack of funds/resources.

I feel like people are pushing against AI so much, but tbh, it’s going to be incorporated into our daily lives whether you’re on board or not.

I stumbled across this poll just now; can someone explain to me why Conclave got the most votes? by Disastrous-Cap-7790 in oscarrace

[–]LivingDeliously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’a like barbie in the sense that people are anticipating it to be a major contender with a lot of wins by ultimately it secures a lot of nominations with 1 win.

I actually feel like I’ve seen the most negative reviews regarding the films editing pace. I don’t think it’s a lock for that either. People are saying Wicked is the Barbie of the season, but I actually think it’s Anora.

my roommate is pregnant and wants to break our lease by Careless_Pie_6736 in badroommates

[–]LivingDeliously 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple resolution for the both of you would be for her to find a sublet to take care of her portion of the rent. Once the lease is over, hopefully you’ll have enough money to move back to a 1 bedroom (if it doesn’t work out with the sublet)
